Over the weekend, Trump accepted the endorsement of Scott Adams, controversial creator of the comic strip “Dilbert.” Adams has been a fierce supporter of Trump and has endorsed him in the past.
Here are a few of Scott Adams’s inflammatory statements and controversies:
-
Adams once questioned the accuracy of the Holocaust death toll.
-
Adams shamelessly defended Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacists after the 2018 Charlottesville rally.
-
In 2019, Adams promoted his app WhenHub on Twitter in the aftermath of a deadly shooting at a California festival — causing some to call him out for using the tragedy for profit.
-
In 2020, Adams claimed that a Biden victory would lead to Republicans being “hunted.”
-
In 2020, Adams claimed that his TV adaptation of “Dilbert” was canceled because he was white.
-
This weekend, Adams claimed that anti-vaxxers were right — clearly buying into and spreading dangerous vaccine conspiracy theories.
